It's awesome! Listen to it with the lights off and cry and cry.
(Which is fine; but I like my despair with a story attached to it.)
While I *am* a fan of electronica and metal, something with a beat I can work to that doesn't have to have narrative, more experimental music generally leaves me cold.
